Episode 12: Is Meditation For Real Life

Is meditation really about sitting cross-legged in silence with a perfectly blank mind… or is that just another Instagram myth?In this episode, Susan Osman and Rachel Branson explore what meditation actually looks like in real life — from guided and silent meditations to breathwork, movement, Osho-style active practices, and even the slightly unhinged yoga shaking and gibberish that brought them together on a retreat.They talk about how normal it is to have 200 thoughts racing through your head while you’re “meditating,” why stillness isn’t the only way to find calm, and how modern meditation is really about nervous-system regulation, not perfection.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “bad at meditating,” this episode is for you.New episodes every Monday at 6pm for Mocktail Monday 🍸Stay tuned — new episodes every week.
